Yes, I know, but our diplomatic standing in the world, due to a cowboy in
the White House, has made it difficult to gain any progress with other
countries.

Yeah, 10K comapred to over 100K in Iraq. We are fighting where the oil is.
And it appears that doing so just to fight.
Maybe you shouldn't waste so much time telling us the perils of a
socialized space program and consider pointing out the waste of defense as

right? The DOD two week dudget is the more than the annual NASA budget.
